    And they expect these things to last 7 years? Yeah right.

    One of the possibilities I semi-unironically expressed was that Google is willing to promise 8 years of software updates because judging by their track record, there won’t be any Pixel 8s left alive after year 5, which means there won’t be any customers to complain when they break that promise.

      Given Google’s track record they’ll just cancel the pixel line and say no more updates after year 2

        You just triggered memories of the Nexus 5. Loved that phone. But alas Google stopped supporting it after like 2.5 years.
